CHAPTER 2

"Oh no!" I heard a boy scream and the dog was taken away from my face

"I'm so so sooooo sorry. I didn't notice my dog running towards you-"

"It's fine" I cut him off he's talking too much.

I was wiping my face with my hands when a handkerchief appeared in front of me. I looked up and saw the boy holding it.

"No need" was all I said

"I'm really sorry for my-"

"It's fine. Just be quiet"  I don't care if I'm being rude, he's just too noisy.

I got up and started walking away with my dog.

I was about 5 meters away when a hand grabbed my wrist. I looked at the owner of the hand and saw the boy.

"I'm sorry, can I at least treat you to a drink?"

"Sorry, I don't drink" Why would he want to drink in broad daylight.

"Wha- Ohhhhh. What I mean is coffee." He chuckled

My eyes went wide. My mind was occupied with the embarrassing thoughts that went through my mind that I forgot he asked me something.

"I'm sorry what?"

"I said if you would allow me to treat you to coffee"

Coffee, free. Two words that I love, can't deny that.

"Uhm. Sure"

We went to a nearby café and ordered coffee, ofcourse

"Look I'm-"

"I get it you're sorry"

He went silent

............... *awkward silence*

My phone suddenly beeped, thank god.

It was a text from my mom

*Mom:

       Darling come home now. Your cousin is celebrating her nineteenth birthday today and we need to get ready*

I put my phone back in my pocket and looked up at the boy in front of me.

"Thanks for the coffee but I need to get going now" I grab the coffee, can't leave it, I mean, it's free.

He had a shocked face and looked like he wanted to stop me but I already grabbed Coco and walked out of the café leaving the boy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I got home and saw mom with someone I don't know.

"Oh darling! Come here. I want to introduce to you my friend Shane, she's going to style you for your cousin's birthday" mom said excitedly

Seriously? A stylist?

"Why do I need to dress up when I'm not even the one who has a birthday." I stated in a cold tone

Mom didn't flinch but Shane was shocked with my coldness

"Oh uhm, of course you need to look pretty. You're my daughter after all" mom said

I just stayed quiet and headed to my room to take a quick shower.

When I got done, I saw a gown on my bed. I guess this is what I'll be wearing. I put on the dress and Shane entered

"Oh my, you look beautiful!" I saw her eyes sparkling.

I just scoffed at sat in front of the mirror

While she was fixing my hair and makeup i just plugged in my earphones and scrolled through instagram.

"And done!"

I stood up and went to the full size mirror to look at myself.

*hair, makeup and gown*

I don't look like me,

"Oh my god. Darling you look beautiful" my mother said in full awe.

"Thanks?"

"Let's go now. Wouldn't want to be late!" My mother pulled me excitedly. She seems more excited than me.
